The only way to return to the original tab is to close the new tab. This appears to have regressed since the 20060125 nightly build. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Open a new tab 2. Attempt to select the previous tab 3. Actual Results: Unfocused tab is not able to be selected. Expected Results: Unfocused tab should regain focus when clicked on.

See https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=317375#c110. I had a fix for this in one version of my patch but somehow it dropped out.

It works on the older hourly build Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.9a1) Gecko/20060125 Firefox/1.6a1 ID:2006012517 But as have said, it doesn't work on the 0126 nightly build.

The patch of this bug caused the close buttons on tabs not to work anymore, if tabs have a fixed width by means of this .css: .tabbrowser-tabs > hbox { display: block !important; } .tabbrowser-tabs tab { min-width: 100px !important; } At least, in the 2006012621 build they stopped working.

You need to file a new bug for this, cc me pse

something to try = try clicking your mouse wheel on-off a few times (i.e., the middle button) and/or open your mouse control panel, change the mouse wheel settings, and save the new settings. why? read these 2 bug reports: From: Bug 465259 - firefox randomly stops responding to mouse clicks ------- Comment #2 From Brandon Mitchell 2009-07-16 13:34:11 PDT ------- I experienced this issue yesterday for the first time, after upgrading from FF3 to FF3.5 a few weeks ago, and I believe (but am not certain) that I was able to fix the problem by middle clicking on the scrollbar to activate and then deactivate autoscroll. (Actually I used an AutoHotkey mapping of the left Windows key to the middle mouse button; I don't have a mouse and my touchpad doesn't have a middle button.) Today I have been unable to reproduce the phenomenon. On the one hand, I wish I knew how to reproduce this bug; on the other hand I sincerely hope that I don't encounter this nasty business again. Based on my reading of support forum pages (first two of the three URLs pasted below), I wildly conjecture that this might possibly be related to the middle mouse button somehow. Some posters have suggested that it is due to a driver problem or a mechanical problem such as a stuck middle mouse button, but posters also point out that the problem seems to be specifically related to Firefox 3.x software. One person (see third URL pasted below) claims that he still had the problem after installing a new mouse. There are at least two or three other "Firefox-won't-respond-to-mouse-clicks-unless-I-switch-focus-to-another-app-window" bugs that might be duplicates of this one: Bug 442572, Bug 451116, Bug 483254. http://support.mozilla.com/tiki-view_forum_thread.php?forumId=1&comments_threshold=0&comments_parentId=86324&comments_offset=0&comments_per_page=20&thread_style=commentStyle_plain http://support.mozilla.com/tiki-view_forum_thread.php?forumId=1&comments_threshold=0&comments_parentId=125737&comments_offset=0&comments_per_page=20&thread_style=commentStyle_plain http://vavai.net/2009/01/21/temporary-solved-annoying-bug-on-firefox-3-right-click-menu/ From: Bug 450735 - Firefox doesn't respond to mouse clicks on links and buttons ------- Comment #3 From Martin 2008-08-18 10:24:10 PDT ------- I have solved the problem for myself. It was not a bug, but a mechanical problem. Nevertheless Firefox is the only browser that seemed to be affected: My middle mouse button was not working. I realized that, when I opened Excel and found the program selecting multiple cells as if I kept pressing the left mouse button. I opened my mouse and found that the little mechanical transmitter for the middle mouse button (wheel)was jammed. I released it and now everything works fine.
